Top 3 Takeaways From This Value-Packed Conversation

Learning as a child is a much different experience than learning as an adult because children haven’t developed any frames of reference. There’s a lot of wonder and so many things are new. As an adult, not only do you have certain tendencies and frames of reference, but you also develop certain habits and those habits can be incredibly difficult to break, even if you know you want to change course and lean into something new
Data is everywhere. Everything you look at is data. Planning a trip, considering a major purchase and doing research, watching the news…all of these entities are putting data in front of you. It’s not just numbers and spreadsheets…it’s evidence and information and data literacy is the ability to fully understand what the data is telling you so you can make a decision
When it comes to data literacy, QUESTION EVERYTHING (politely). Asking questions will lead to learning more about how data and information is compiled and, therefore, lead to more well-informed decisions and a stronger understanding of the data itself
